Two Nathaniel Hawthornes.

There are two Nathaniel Haw-
thornes- the living man who walked
the streets of Salem, and the ideal
Hawthorne, materialized from his
works. An immense amount of non
sense has been written in vain effort
to harmonic the two men. The facts
are all against the success of any
such attempt Hawthorne himself
wanted to live in what he had written.
He had no false ideas as to his own
position i'll what is called society,
neither did he care brass farthinS for
the opinion of the men and women
who are now attempting to patronize
him. His contempt for that sort OF
thing was as thoroughly democratic
as the man himself. The 'low" so
ciety he is charged with seeking in
order to study, is humbug. He
sought that kind of society because he
enjoyed and liked it, just as he liked
gin and French brandy. That's all
there is to it.-SGlena Register.

this firm bought EN-; but as Il matter

Lime. 1t was shaken over them

1t keeps them fresh, and it weighs
something, too. When YOU buy nut
megs in the East, each one of these
little boxes goes for half picul. But
the New York jobber takes very little
for granted when he puts his money
into merchandise that has sailed as far
as these nuts have. Every box of
them has got to be weighed on the
Yankee beam, and on freedoms own
soil, too; and, what is more, 10 per
cent. of every parcel must be tared
before the jobber lets 90 of his silver
dollars Foreign weights must be
naturalized, like the foreigner HIM
self, before we take much stock in
them.
.'Nutmegs that average 10 to the
pound cost us about half u cent apiece
but before they get to the snowy head
of a milk punch or into the inner
richness of rice pudding they cost
the consumer two OF three cents each.
Formerly Singapore used to have the
lead on Batavia for nutmegs, but now
honors are easy. Nutmeg immigrants
from the latter port usually call at the
Dutch paternal home in Rotterdam
and then take steamers hence. But
the Singapore variety, true to natural
instinct, generally drops i'll at London
to see the old folks before winding up
at the foot of Hudson street, New
York. The direct steamers all berth
on the East river side, and discharge
their cargo of aromatic eXiles amid the
faded glories of Cherry Hill.

Where Root-Diggers Live.

My feet were on the ground, and,

"While making a momentary halt,

children scrambling out of the hole

cape.

would carry them, making for the
nearest hills.
''By the time I had pushed my bas-

out of it | saw dozen or more black
heads emerging from the earth in my
immediate neighborhood. Seeing the
shaggy heads popping up all about
me, darted away at pace that must
truly have astonished the natives. l
think I must have left the village at
least five miles behind before l halted.
I then threw myself upon the ground,
too much exhausted to even load my
gun"
''Was it one of their houses that you
had jumped into, uncle?" here asked a
small boy, who had been listening
with all his ears.
Eyes, boy, the roof of one of their
huts. You see, these miserable root

dug in the ground, just like so many
woodchucks. They make a kind of
basket-work dome of willow. which
they place over the hole and cover with
grass and earth by way of roof, and
in hot weather they sometimes strew
the roof with green leaves as an addi-
tional protection from the heat of the
sun. The one into which [ plunged

being old and rotten,I popped through
it easily enough.

saw one of those hated .'Anglais'' occu-

his sword on one side, began to insult

Who Would be q Brewer?

The New York brewers sold about
100000 barrels of beer in 1886, so
that at the estimgted profit OF one
dollar a barrel they made $4,000,0 600.
This divided among the eighty of this
neighborhood gives $4,000 apiece.
But while few made so little, many
made great deal more-one having
sold nearly 100000 barrels, and three
or four having made over 100000 bar
rels or dollars.
Many of them live quite grandly,
the mansion that one has built fronting
the Park being one of the finest homes
in the city, and of course they don't
do any manual work; in fact, many of
them have had their riches forced upon
them, and haven't the ability to do
the work of the humblest of their
clerks. There is a college in town for
teaching brewing where four boys a
year get their education free. The
business will grow up as the country
grows and has grown, SO that some of
the graduates may be regarded as
certain to be very rich men.
Is this chance to recommend to a
youth to strive for? After long ac-
quaintance with many brewers [ say
decidedly no. I would not put a boy
in the business nor go into it myself
under even the most advantageous
circumstances. In many respects their
riches are earned the hardest of any
moneys made in New York. This is
said not from a temperance stand
point, but because of the lives the
brewers have to lead and the things
they have to do in order to make
their money. For instance, they are
obliged to drink like the suction pipe
of steam engine. Whenever a Gus
toner begins business, or opens new
saloon, or refurnishes an old one, the
brewer must come and spend money
like water and drink like a fish. 1t is
Just the same when the customer has a
wedding or christening, or takes a
partner, or does anything that fur
nishes an excuse for inviting the
brewer around to divide portion of
his profits. He would be stingy if he
didn't spend the money, and disre-
spectful if he didn't drink, and in
either case he would lose his Gus
toner. Fancy man at the head of a
great business and possessing great
wealth obliged to get drunk four
nights week to keep his business.
True, few don't do it, but employ
hail fellows to take their places, yet
most of these fellows had to do ex-
actly that in building up their bust
nesses.
Then, again, the average New York
brewer is at the beck and call of the
saloon keepers in many other ways.
They are expected to lend money on
every sort of pretense, to go bail fol-
| their customers whenever they are
arrested and whatever it may be for.
to go to their weddings, christenings,
| balls, and to subscribe money TO every
| device that liquor dealer can invent

How to Build ChimneyS.

For those parts of a chimney which
are sl;v2orted throughout stone may,
under some circumstances, says the
american architect, be admissible, brick
is always preferable for the purpose.
The abutments of chimney should be
tied into the walls by wrought-iron
bars of sufficient number and strength,
turned up and down at the ends, and
built into the jambs for several inches
on each side. No part of tiue should
be of less thickness than a half brick,
OF Al inches. Where slabs of stone or
slate are.placed level with floor before
the opening of chimney, they should
invariabl be laid in sound mortar, ce-
ment or other incombustible and non
conducting substances, and should be
at distance of not less than Al inches
from the joists, flooring, or any other
woodwork. A chimney built only up
to the roof and stopping at that point
is always very dangerous. Every
chimney in house should be perfectly
distinct and separate from every other
chimney, from the hearth to the exter-
nal opening. Chimneys may safely be
built in stacks, but they should on no
account have any connection with the
stacks. Brick-work around fiues
should not be less than Il inches thick
in any part. BY the code Napoleon it
was not permitted to build chimney
against the wall of an adjoining house
without isolating it by an intermediate
wall of sufficient thickness to prevent
heat passing to the neighboring pre-
misses

cleverly which way to 90, and the
easiest spot for them to pass, that tbs
road seemed twice as short.
Once they met a wretched tramp
who fixed his eyes SO greedily upon the
children'S rich clothes, that Fay uncOn-
sclOusly cried aloud; a savage grow
from Rags, and the flash of his fierce
fangs was enough to send the man on
ward, muttering vengeance against the
faithful beast.
They were very tired and hungry
when they at length reached March
mont Grange, but their appearance
caused intense joy in the house.

not displeased when Rags went
home, and Meg's mother could not
help feeling glad she had resisted her
first impulse to rob the children instead
of sending them back in safety, as she
eventually did.
